7x + 2y=24 8x + 2y=30

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bumek [7]3 years ago

Answer:

x=6 y=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Layer the equations on each other as you would in a subtraction problem:

               8x + 2y=30

               7x + 2y=24  

  • Subtract the equation just like you would normally. This should leave 1x=6 or x=6.
  • Now that you have your x value, plug it in as x for one of the equations. For the 2nd equation, this leaves:

               42+2y=24 then

               2y=-18 then

               y=-9

  • Double check your y value by plugging x=6 into the first equation. This should also leave y=-9.

Zigmanuir [339]
The equation for this problem would be 56=2x+5x, which can be simplified to 56=7x, x being the number of cups of soda. To find x you must get it alon be dividing both sides by 7 (56/7=7x/7). Doing this gives you 8=x, or in other words 8 cups of soda.
Hope this helps!

Justine answered 68 questions correctly on a 80-question test.
cestrela7 [59]
For A the answer is 85% correct. Then 15% incorrect. I got the number correct by taking 68 and dividing by 80. To get the number incorrect I took the 15 other questions (80-68) and did 12 divided by 80 to get the 15% incorrect.
